Hare Krishna, Dear Gurumaharaja
Please accept my hubmle obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Writing after very long time.
HpS / ASA - Not so long. Ag ag tSP! Paoho. So nice to hear from you.
I am very happy to share that my Mangala Arati attendence is by your's and Krishna's mercy finally perfect. Sometimes there are only 2 of us, pujari and me. Sometimes we are 4. For long long time I was part of the problem by my bad sadhana, but I pray I will be able to continue as good example. So now just to keep it fixed and to improve consciousness.
HpS - Param drstvam nivartante[?]. When we see the natural, happy result of good Mangala arati then we keep it fixed.
Learn the word by word meaning of the song.
Get some rounds done before Mangala arti! ... See Radha and Krsna listening to you all! . . .
Our son, Balarama, is energetic and cute child. Bringing us both happiness and distress :)
He loves to offer lamps with us for Damodara.
My wife is working on design for puppets for another devotee who will make Ramayana puppet plays for nursery schools.
My wife likes to do things like this.
Working on new vedabase.io version.
Last few days I struggled somehow with user authentication system and trying find way of connecting it with current data.
It makes me insane, but I hope I am very close to make it working nicely.
Once that is done, I can quickly finish other stuff and make online beta version. Then when it will be consider stable it will replace current vedabase.io.
After new version will be running I can finally finish offline Vedabase app. It became more urgent due to attitude of Indian BBT toward all other projects, causing one devotee who made offline reader few years ago to delete it.
As I mentioned last time we spoke Indian BBT is trying to remove Online Vedabase too, but by Prabhupada's protection we will not give up and instead increase preaching even on more.
Your servant Prahlad Nrsimha das
HpS - Thank you so, so, much for this facility. We certainly feel that online Vedabase.io is an essential Sankirtan tool for so, so, many devotees. It allows us to quickly access texts for Sankirtan and share precise citations.
Maybe BBT India and others will be more enlivened if they see orders for hard copies of books coming in through online VedaBase?!!
Maybe you can offer then space to develop their advertisements.
